Irked by non payment of their entitlements, workers of the environmental waste management company ZL, Global Alliance Nigeria Limited engaged by the Kaduna state government stormed the Ministry of Environment to authenticate claims by the company that the company is being owed money running into millions by the state through the ministry.

The workers who were peaceful in their demand expressed worries why inspite of discharging their duties, they are not being paid as at when due.

Some of those who spoke to DAILY POST asked the Permanent Secretary who stood in for the Commissioner to confirm whether the claim of the company was true or not.

“We feel your pains and understand your complaints, but I have the authority of the commissioner to inform you that the situation will be addressed accordingly.

“She has also asked me to schedule a meeting with her and your leaders to sort out the grey areas accordingly.

“The way and manner you have composed yourselves and articulate your complaints with maturity is commendable, and as a ministry we will do the needful to resolve the matter,” he assured.

One of the leaders of the workers and the APC ward chairman of Maiburuji in Kaduna North local government area, Ashiru Sani Hussaini who spoke on behalf of the workers said, “We are here to find out the claims of the company we work for that the ministry is withholding some of their monies which is making it difficult for the company to pay us our salaries in full and as at when due.

Responding, the Permanent Secretary, Raubilu Shehu Ibrahim, who addressed the workers confirmed that the company was indeed being owed some money and appealed to the workers to exercise patience, assuring them that the ministry was doing everything possible to effect the outstanding payments.
